IRON MAIDEN's BRUCE DICKINSON Discusses 'Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress' Bomber Plane (Video)

Wargaming — the company behind free-to-play titles World Of Tanks (2010), World Of Warplanes (2013) and World Of Warships (2015) — recently announced that IRON MAIDEN frontman Bruce Dickinson is hosting 10 online educational warplanes diaries. This free-to-view series is being released weekly on the World Of Warplanes official portal and YouTube channel across June, July and August, alongside an exclusive World Of Warplanes video tribute to the classic IRON MAIDEN song “Aces High”.

As an avid enthusiast of military aviation, pilot, and supporter of World Of Warplanes‘ dedication to historical accuracy, Bruce has recorded “The Bruce Dickinson Warplanes Diaries” about the classic WW2 fighter and bomber aircraft such as the Spitfire, Hawker Hurricane and Messerschmitt Bf 109. As an extra treat for MAIDEN and Warplanes fans, World Of Warplanes have created, with many of the graphics from their in-game engine and some classic archive footage, a tribute video clip to the epic “Aces High” music video. Featuring many of the Battle Of Britain planes that Bruce profiles in the series, viewers can see the machines really brought to life.

“We are all delighted that Bruce has brought his enthusiasm and expertise to World Of Warplanes with these informative videos which he has delivered in his own inimitable style,” commented Wargaming‘s global marketing director, Al King. “As well as the diaries and the ‘Aces High’ tribute, we are also introducing a renovated hangar subtly branded with iconic IRON MAIDEN imagery. It’s unlike anything the game’s ever had before and we hope MAIDEN fans will have fun spotting the various Easter eggs hidden throughout!”

Dickinson‘s fifth video sees him talking about the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, a four-engine heavy bomber developed in the 1930s for the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC).
